PRL Oregano Oil

Kills germs on contact! The most active ingredient in wild oregano is carvacrol, a potent, naturally occurring compound which has remarkable effects against all types of microbes such as bacteria, virus, fungus and parasites. Synthetic phenol, also known as carbolic acid, a strong antiseptic, was for much of the 20th century the standard by which all other antiseptics were measured. Yet research shows the “killing action” of naturally occurring carvacrol is superior to phenol - it is unmatched in its antimicrobial actions.

Oil of oregano is the essential oil of wild oregano, specifically origanum vulgare, the true oregano species. Unbelievably, many oregano and oregano oils available are from non-oregano species (mostly marjoram or thyme) - they are actually mislabeled! These non-oregano species may not be harmful, but they do not have the potent healing properties of true wild oregano.
